Ahuja posed as a patient and told Sarkaar that he was suffering from severe headache. Sarkaar checked his BP and was about to give him an injection when the raiding team revealed their true identity.

“We have sealed the medicines. It included used syringes, strong antibiotics, IV fluids, medicines for diabetes and a nebulizer too,” said Ahuja.

He added that Sarkaar was having a small operation room and admission room as well.

“When we reached the clinic two patients were already present. Sarkaar is just Class VII pass,” said Ahuja. Sarkaar told the team that he had been operating for some days only and earlier Sanjay Kumar Sarkaar used to operate from the same premises.

The raiding team gave an application to the police for registering a FIR against Sarkaar under section 420 ( for cheating) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and section 15 (2) and section 15 (3) of the Indian Medical Council Act, 1956. The section 15 prescribes the qualification required to practice as a doctor which is MBBS or its equivalent degree.

“The police have registered the case and presently Sarkaar is in police custody. We will produce him before the court on Wednesday,” said Inspector Satish Kumar, SHO of sector 20 police station.
